THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
This study is supported by the following theories: Informal learning theory used
by John Dewey at an early stage and later on by Malcolm Knowles. The theory of
David Kolb (1984) which is about the Learning Styles and Experiential Learning
has no set objective in terms of learning outcomes and is never intentional from
the learner's standpoint. For all learners this includes heuristic language building,
valuable in its own right, at times directly relevant to employment and at other
adult station in life. The point of education should not be to inculcate a body of
knowledge, but to develop capabilities: the basic ones of literacy and numeracy
as well as the capability to act responsibly towards others, to take initiative and to
work creatively and collaboratively. The most important capability and the one
which traditional education is worst at creating are the ability and yearning to
carry on learning. Too much schooling kills off a desire to learn…. Schools and
universities should become more like hubs of learning, within the community,

Kolb (1974) views learning as an integrated process with each stage being
mutually supportive of and feeding into the next. It is possible to enter the cycle
at any stage and follow it through its logical sequence. However, effective
learning only occurs when a learner can execute all four stages of the model.

McCarthy expanded on Kolb’s work and the research on left and right
brain processes to create the 4MAT System. McCarthy suggested four learning
learners and connects them, no matter their level, to any type of material,
needs and aspirations, and capable of making their own learning (Taruc, 2013).
Educational Theory
Freire talks about the fallacy of looking at the education system like a
bank, a large repository where students come to withdraw the knowledge they
need for life. Knowledge is not a set commodity that is passed from the teachers
to the students. Students must construct knowledge from knowledge they already
possess. Teachers must learn how the students understand the world so that the
